With the importance of transportation to the economy and the added cost to truckers of the continuing rise in fuel costs as well as toll roads the price of goods to consumers will again increase - the consumer always loses as they will be the ones paying the price.

Identical to the penny whwre i live where diesel is $1.01 Can per liter.

Years ago Mexican diesel was very inexpensive - due in part to the Mexican government giving truckers a break. Anyone know if Mexican truckers get a break at tax time like the way it's done in the US?

As long as they are registered taxpayers, either as self-employed or a business, they can deduct the taxes paid on fuel.

I have no idea how it might work in Mexico. In the US when I was a trucker we got what they called a fuel surcharge. That is they added a % to the linehaul - I was getting 13%. Linehaul is the amount the shipper is charged by the trucker to haul the goods. The last I read the US truckers get more than that now. Whatever it is it is paid in the end by the consumer. I would guess some truckers are hurt by fuel costs but it should be figured into how much it costs them to haul. Either by something like the fuel surcharge or just simply by charging more to haul. If truckers do not raise what they charge as the fuel costs go up then they are just not very smart or very good businessmen.

Just looked this up for US....

FUEL SURCHARGE
National's "Central Atlantic" Weekly Retail On-Highway Diesel Price Per Gallon as of Monday, August 29, 2016: $2.496

Our current fuel surcharge is: 9.50%


Found this for Canada......


http://yrc.com/fuel-surcharge-canada/

The Canadian fuel surcharge is revised weekly. YRC Freight posts surcharge updates every Monday.

Obtain a fuel surcharge calculation between the United States and Canada.

LTL < 10,000 lb TL 10,000+ lb
9.2% 21.6%
Effective: 08-29-2016

(rough explanation - LTL <10,000 mean Less Than a full Load weighing less than 10,000 - other similar shipments will be put on the truck and each will pay a surcharge - TL 10,000 means a TruckLoad shipment)


Website gives an idea of US trucking rates.....

I could not find any current fuel info for Mexico but did find something from 2008......

http://www.mexicotrucker.com/canacar-members-institute-fuel-surcharge-on-freight-moving-in-mexico/

According to this agency so far this year there have been 18 increases in the price of diesel. Proof of this is that in January 2008 the price per litre stood at 5.93 pesos ($2.20 per gallon) , while for the September 8 the price had risen to 6.58 pesos per liter ($2.42).+

PUBLISHED SURCHARGES
For a straight Truck $.18 cents per kilometer+
For Semi Trailer 5 or 6 Axles $.29 cents per kilometer+
For Refrigerated Semi Trailer 5 or 6 Axles $.42 cents per kilometer+
For Doubles of any configuration $..42 cents per kilometer+

Which could indicate that Mexican truckers do get a fuel surcharge. Maybe someone can find more recent facts?

It's not hurting truckers. I live in a town that is dominated by truckers and transport companies. There are tractor and trailer dealerships all up and down the highway. My neighbor, who imports trailers, said business couldn't be better. The cost of fuel is transferred onto the consumer.

But I read that starting in January 2017 fuel prices will not be regulated. Originally that date was to be 2018 but they are pushing it forward.
